Abstract:
Reports a case of diabetic foot patient with right toe pain, ulceration for 4 years and aggravation for 1 month. After rigorous medical treatment and related examinations, transeversal bone transfer of tibia was proposed. However, the skin condition on the inner side of the lower leg was not good before the operation, so the transversal bone removal of the fibula was performed. Two segments of the lateral fibula were osteotomized with miniature osteotomies. The two osteotomy lines were about 10 cm apart. The distal osteotomy line is about 10 cm from the tip of the lateral malleolus. On the 8th day after the surgery, the bone was moved every 6 hours and was extended inwards by 1 mm every day. After 14 days, the bone was moved back for another 14 days. Skin temperature from preoperative to postoperative, ankle brachial index, CT angiography, CT value, visual analogue scale (VAS) of pain and wound healing were evaluated by comparison. The wound was completely healed 28 days after the operation.
